Philips C922 Cordless Telephone User Manual


 
25
Messages*
Handsets can send and receive text messages. There are normal
messages and urgent messages; these are signalled to the recei-
ver in different ways. All messages are saved in a list, which can
hold up to six entries. The menu item "Message Memory Over-
write" (page 16) allows you to set the way in which the handset
behaves if more than six messages are received.
Messages can also be sent and received during a connection. Be
aware that an incoming call must be handled before handling an
incoming message.
Normal and urgent messages can be signalled to the user via dif-
ferent melodies and ringer types (see Menu: Ringer Settings).
Messages cannot be sent and received if the handset is swit-
ched off, is out of coverage or is in the charger while "silent
charging" is switched on. Also messages can not be received
while an incoming call has not yet been answered (means that
your handset is ringing). When, in general, it is not possible to
deliver a message, the sender will get a audio signal. If a mes-
sage is received while you are using the menu, the menu action
is interrupted and any unsaved inputs are lost. Also already pre-
paired telephone numbers and text of an own created message
will be lost at the time of receiving a message.

Urgent
Messages
Urgent messages are messages which must be acknowledged by
you. If the key lock is on, the receipt of a message temporarily
deactivates the lock so that the receipt can be acknowledged.
When you receive an urgent message, this is indicated imme-
diately by the call LED and the message is shown on the dis-
play. If you use the buzzer or the headset you will hear the
melody for urgent messages. The volume of the buzzer signal
will increase until it reaches the maximum. If you receive an
urgent message during a voice call, you will hear an indica-
tion tone every ten seconds.
Normal
Messages
Normal messages are messages which cannot be acknowled-
ged by you. Using the setting "Immediate Message Display"
(page 16), you can choose whether or not you wish to have a
normal message displayed immediately. If the display setting
is switched off when you receive a normal message, the static
M icon is displayed.
